A mailing list is a collection of names and addresses used by an individual or an organization to send material to multiple recipients. The term is often extended to include the people subscribed to such a list, so the group of subscribers is referred to as "the mailing list", or simply "the list".

Two different types of mailing lists

At least two types of mailing lists can be defined: an announcement list is closer to the original sense, where a "mailing list" of people was used as a recipient for newsletters, periodicals or advertising. Traditionally this was done through the postal system, but with the rise of email, the electronic mailing list became popular. The second type allows members to post their own items which are broadcast to all of the other mailing list members. This second category is usually known as a discussion list.

When applying for a job, should I email my resume if it lists a mailing address?
Q. There's this job I would love, and it says to apply to yada yada address, and then it lists an email address and fax number. Can I just email my resume instead of mailing it? I've always emailed instead of mailed (even when a mailing address was listed) with other jobs (which seemed fine), but I just want to doublecheck because this one's extra important to me.

A. Try calling their HR department to find out if they prefer it that way. However, since it's a lot easier to email than to mail it, remember that your resume may be lost with many others applying for the same job. Since snail mail could take a while, just print out a hard copy of your resume, a letter of application if it would help, and give it to them personally. Even if it's just the secretary or Human resources, it would show effort and willingness on your part. Good Luck
